This second solo effort by Dale Thompson is much different from his first. He combined the talents of the region's most talented musicians to assist him this time. This recording, like his first, is a concept that shows one man's struggle through life. Many of the stories that are incorporated are

from Dale's past. Using real horns, keyboards, and many other unusual instruments, Dale produced a very believable blues recording. This record is available in stores and was originally distributed by Rugged Records.

Lyrics:

I thought I found God living in a cardboard box

He was chewing a two inch cigar

and He had a slight cough

His hair was dull and white

He had a road map for a face

Once he thought he ruled the world

now he found he had no place

He said He gave up on man after 1963

Cause everybody seemed to love their pain

and enjoy their misery

He said people stopped listening

to what he had to say That's why Eden had been pushed so far away

If God is dead who keeps us alive

Who paints the pretty rainbows up in the sky

How would we know the grace of God

without the sacrifice

How would we know true love unless he gave us his life

Spitting red man between the pigeons and the cracks

Leading karaoke on the subway tracks

He never talked about dying

or raising from the dead

But He ask me if I could hear the voices ringing in his head
